Does this C binding provides Lance Namespace-related APIs?

[unconsolable]

I found that the Rust FFI bindings in https://github.com/lance-format/lance-duckdb provides several APIs relateds to Lance Namespace. For instance, create/drop/open dataset in namespace can be found as follows:

void *lance_open_dataset_in_dir_namespace(
    const char *root, const char *table_name, const char **option_keys,
    const char **option_values, size_t options_len, const char **out_table_uri);
void *
lance_open_dataset_in_namespace(const char *endpoint, const char *table_id,
                                const char *bearer_token, const char *api_key,
                                const char *delimiter, const char *headers_tsv,
                                const char **out_table_uri);
int32_t lance_namespace_create_empty_table(
    const char *endpoint, const char *table_id, const char *bearer_token,
    const char *api_key, const char *delimiter, const char *headers_tsv,
    const char **out_location, const char **out_storage_options_tsv);
int32_t lance_namespace_drop_table(const char *endpoint, const char *table_id,
                                   const char *bearer_token,
                                   const char *api_key, const char *delimiter,
                                   const char *headers_tsv);

However, similar APIs can not be found in this C binding. Also, Cargo.toml in this repo does not refer to lance-namespace as dependencies. Does lance-c planned to provide such APIs? Thanks.

Hi @unconsolable It's not there yet and not on the roadmap yet since most of the use case right now is focusing on the execution and namespace is handled by java side in most query engine. But feel free to contribute or I would pick it up when I'm more available
